I mean, I thought America realized that Global Warming ended when we kept Gore out of the white house. While Brazil is getting tree hugger kudos over being essentially ethanol fueled, I see that they aren't letting foreign oil dictate as much of their economy as much as the rest of the world. If history is any indicator, OPEC jacking up oil prices, artificially, is a means of equipping for war. Certainly we are at the point that wars are about to become economical to secure oil. I was told in school that every war ever fought has been about assets - money. Including the Crusades (another case of history repeating?). Many ecology and conservation topics are useful. But as the saying goes, "Figures don't lie, but Liars figure." 'Green' and ecology marketers are no more ethical, as a group, than the tobacco companies were, or car makers today.

I think that when certain things are declared as being great for the environment, a lot of it is PR or they just don't understand the medium or long term effect of what they are doing. Either that or they just don't consider other factors. But yes, don't go holding your breath.
